2017 Christmas Radio Stations in CALIFORNIA

I made a list of California Christmas Music Radio Station options, Terrestrial (KOIT, KJOY, KABX and More), Online and SiriusXM. (Yes, I just did something that isn't a recall or doom and gloom or some kind of consumer warning! This is more of a consumer awareness piece!)

I decided to look up what stations are playing holiday music this year, and found a few options to consider, depending on your preference of sources. I made a list of FM stations, online options and SiriusXM Satellite radion stations you can tune in to.

Satellite Radio Christmas Stations

For me, the SiriusXM stations seem to be pulling on thin strings to pump out anything and everything they can to mix it up and it has not been as satisfying as if could be. So far. But hey, they may crank up the truly popular stuff the closer to 'the day' we get.

And of course there will be the New Year's Eve station running just a few days, starting on New Year's Eve, of course.

AM/FM Radio Christmas Stations

Listening to terrestrial radio? Here in California a few have converted into full-blown Christmas radio channels.

I've found that KABX, based out of Merced but can be clearly heard in Los Banos or Gustine has been nailing the classic cheer, from Jimmy Durante's Frosty the Snowman to Bing Crosby's classic renditions. And some Mannheim Steamroller which has the perfect mix of upbeat, powerful, holiday feel. (For me).

In the Bay Area, you have KOIT (96.5 FM), Los Angeles has two stations, and Eureka has two AM stations pumping out the holiday spirits.
